2-TIMES • Art
Daido Moriyama
@ Simon Lee Gallery
—
“A record of his
wanderings, in which
the journey is as
important as the
destination...”
Born:
1938 — Osaka, Japan.
The exhibition:
Captures Moriyama’s
discordant impressions
of city life and chaotic
visions of everyday
existence — presenting
a survey of photographs
by the renowned Japanese
photographer, spanning
the breadth of his five-
decade long career.
‘Moriyama documented
Japan’s transformation
through the gritty
underbelly of city life.
Characters such as
back-street boxers,
strippers, and gay
prostitutes figured
in his signature black-
and-white, grain-heavy
style.’
